Pat Curran-Patricio ‘Pitbull’ Rematch Kicks off Bellator Summer Series on June 6

Bellator’s 2014 Summer Series will begin with a bang, when Pat Curran
puts his featherweight title on the line against Patricio
Freire.

Curran’s rematch with “Pitbull” takes place at the Winstar World
Casino in Thackerville, Okla., on June 6 and airs live on Spike TV.
The featherweights previously met in January 2013, with Curran
scoring a split decision victory over Freire in a hard-fought
five-rounder at Bellator 85.

Curran, 26, successfully defended his belt against Shahbulat
Shamhalaev one year ago but then relinquished the title to
Daniel
Straus in a unanimous verdict last November. However, Curran
avenged that defeat in their immediate rematch last month at
Bellator 112, securing Straus’ back late in the fifth round and
forcing him to submit to a rear-naked choke.
